Verse 1:
Bm     G
 I left you here
    D        A
A radio keeps the extra closet empty
Bm      G
 In case this year
    D           A
I come back and stay through all my twenties



Bm     G
 What if I won't
    D       A
How am I supposed to put that gently?
Bm      G
 And down the road
     D       A       Bm D G A
You will love me until you resent me, mmm

Verse 2:
Bm      G
 I've had the thought
     D          A
Tried to work it out through anxious pacin'
Bm      G
 What if I'm not
     D         A
Worth the time and breath I know you're savin'?
Bm     G
 But it's a lot
    D        A
All the shine of half a decade fadin'
Bm     G
 The whole facade
    D       A      Bm D G A
Seem to fall, but it's complicated, mmm


Chorus:
D           G
 A part of me wants to walk away 'til you really wishin'
D            Em
 I hate to look in your face and know that we're feelin' different
D         G
 'Cause part of me wants you back, but
D        Em
 I know it won't work like that, huh
D           G
 Why won't try movin' on for once? That might make it easy
D           Em
 I know we cut all the ties, but you're never really leavin'
D        G
 And part of me wants you back, but
D        Em         D G
 I know it won't work like that, huh
D
 I know it won't work like that


Verse 3:
     G
I'll open up
       D
And thinkin' everythin' you wish I wasn't
       G
The call was tough
     D
But you're better off
I'm bein' honest
       G
So, won't you stop
    D
Holdin' out for me when I don't want it?
       G
Just brush me off
        D
'Cause I'm your ghost right now, your house is haunted
